I switch between Bertie and Jeeves a bit, but I'm mainly I'm drawn to Bertie because he's like a more noble heroic version of me. I do pretend to be Jeeves when I'm doing a mind-numbingly boring task, though, like hanging clothes or doing dishes. Makes it a lot more fun.
What I feel is weird is that I'll create little conversations between the two characters in my head. I think I walk around muttering to myself a lot. My shrink assures me that I'm not all that different from other people... I'm not sure if she fully comprehends how far I take it, though. I am a bit odd.
I do have an image that is vaguely like Hugh Laurie in my head as I step into the Bertie character - but I've never been able to get too worked up about the life events of actual real celebrities. Having said that, a lot of 'real' people, Hugh Laurie included, really fascinate me. I heard Hugh Laurie say once in an interview that he has a very involved fantasy life that was almost debilitating, which I really related to for obvious reasons.
(I thought flatware was what Americans call cutlery. No? 10 years here and I'm still figuring things out.)
